Care to quote me on that? Cause I never said it nor implied such.

Again, you must learn that the Bible must be read in CONTEXT if it is to be understood!

I totally agree, but where Paul didn't mention specifics, just the action verb alone, you are trying to limit Paul's intentions in what he was saying in that verse.

Why are you struggling so to prove Paul is saying what he isn’t?

Uh, HELLO! That's EXACTLY what YOU are doing. I quoted scripture. You added to it.

When reading his words in context, Paul proves your stance is incorrect. Sister, it's okay to say when you are wrong. You’re beating a dead horse here. Paul’s words prove you wrong no matter how many “I thinks” you add to your posts. Your effort to make this passage say what you want it to is NOT helping your cause at all.

And you aren't doing the same thing? I quoted Paul, and you add what you think he was talking about by bringing in people who aren't the man's family as if they were.

In all sincerity, you would do better to leave this and move to passages that are truly in context with your statements. Then you can biblically substantiate your “I believe” statements. What you or I believe means NOTHING if we do not believe in harmony with Jesus’ Word.

God Bless you Sister!

Again, show me where protecting one's family is wrong. In addition, as someone else mentioned, show me where simply holding back an attacker is allowed by Christians, but stopping them with deadly force isn't.

You all are making up the rules as you go along.

In all sincerety.
